Hoyo really said 'let me cook' for Inazuma fans while Mondstadt mains are crying in the corner 😭. So I just saw this KIMITSUKI AYANO leak from Full Stop Chan (that CN uncle who's been dropping 99% accurate crumbs), and my first reaction was:

Wait...another Inazuma character in Natlan's era? Insert Paimon's 'Ehhh?!' meme here. But honestly, when was the last time we got a Mondstadt 5-star? Mika in 2023? That's like 2 whole regions ago! Meanwhile, Inazuma's roster keeps getting secret buffs – first Chiori in Fontaine, now Ayano sneaking into Natlan's update cycle.

Why Inazuma Characters Keep Winning

Let's break down the tea ☕:

• Naming Pattern: Kamisato Ayaka, Sangonomiya Kokomi...now Kimitsuki Ayano. All these fancy surnames scream 'Inazuma nobility' 👑. But here's the kicker – most characters DON'T have canon last names! So when they do, it's either plot relevance or...cough future story expansion cough.

• Version 5.4 Speculation: Rumor has it we might revisit Inazuma for an event. Maybe another festival? Lantern Rite 5.3 ➔ Inazuma Matsuri 5.4?

• Element Mystery: Uncle didn't drop the vision type yet. Electro? Geo? Or something wild like a Dendro samurai? Place your bets in the comments! 🎲

Mondstadt Mains: Are We a Joke?

Let's face it – Mondstadt's been stuck in NPC hell. The last time we saw actual development:

Region	New 5★ Since 2023	Story Relevance
Mondstadt	0	Windblume 2.0?
Inazuma	2 (Chiori, Ayano)	Constant events
Fontaine	5+	Archon Quest

Meanwhile, Natlan's dropping units like hot potatoes – Mavuika in 5.3, Citlali coming soon. But why does Inazuma get priority over the OG region? Is it because:

1. Raiden Shogun's banner sales 📈

2. Easier to design kimono outfits 👘

3. Mihoyo forgot Venti exists 🍷

Should We Pull for Ayano?

Hold your primogems, comrades! Let's analyze:

• If you're meta-slave: Wait for Mavuika/Citlali in 5.3 – leaks say they're OP supports.

• If you're lore enthusiast: Ayano's surname might connect to Enkanomiya or Watatsumi Island's hidden clans 🐍.

• If you're simping for aesthetics: Inazuma never misses with character designs. That hair ornament? Chef's kiss 🤌

But here's the real question – will Ayano's release delay Iansan's debut? Natlan's poster child has been MIA since Teyvat Chapter Trailer! Mihoyo's character pipeline is more confusing than Paimon's emergency food logic 🍔.

Final thought: Maybe Mondstadt's saving its comeback for the rumored Dornman Port expansion? Copium? Maybe. But for now...Inazuma W, Mondstadt L. Sad Barbara healing noises 💔
